Is the Post Office open today? Easter Sunday and Monday opening times revealed
EASTER is just around the corner and a number of shops and services will close or adjust opening hours for the bank holiday.
Here we have everything you need to know about Post Office opening times over the four-day weekend.
Is the Post Office open during the Easter holidays?
As with many stores, Post Office opening hours may vary over the bank holiday.
In addition to sending letters and parcels, your local Post Office also provides access to various banking services.
This allows you to make withdrawals, deposits, balance inquiries, and more.
Before the Easter weekend, major branches will be open on March 28 - with typical opening hours in operation.
On the following day, Good Friday (March 29), Post Offices will be closed.
Branches will also be pulling down the shutters on Easter Sunday and bank holiday Monday.
Following the bank holiday period, major branches will be open as usual on April 2 - but it is recommended to check opening hours for smaller stores.
Customers can check a branch’s local Facebook page for information about opening hours or use the Post Office's online branch locator tool.
